DFW Things to do for 5th Wedding Anniversary?

Hi guys

In October we celebrate our 5th anniversary and we'd like to do something semi-special. We've not been away since our honeymoon to Jersey 5 years ago, so we'd like to push the boat out as far as possible considering our financial state.

Does anyone have any ideas for cheap things to do in the UK? Or VERY cheaply overseas? At the most we'll have £150-200, so any suggestions are welcome.

I can't believe I've put up with the OH for so long! :rotfl:

Edited to add - we don't drive, which is the only limitation to where we can go or what we can do!
Finally debt free!

    If you book in advance you can get rail tickets cheap with GNER (if you are on that line) and other companies may offer similar deals. GNER do cheap first class as well if you book in advance which means you are pretty much guaranteed a seat!

    So that could be a huge way to cut travelling costs wherever you go.

    Hope you can find something great to do!
